Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Xuemin Wang spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Phospholipase D, Arabidopsis, Phosphatidic acid and Signal transduction. His study in Phospholipase, Arabidopsis thaliana, Abscisic acid, Enzyme and Wild type is carried out as part of his studies in Biochemistry. Phospholipase D is the subject of his research, which falls under Cell biology.

His Arabidopsis research includes themes of Salicylic acid, Heterotrimeric G protein and Phospholipid. His work carried out in the field of Phosphatidic acid brings together such families of science as Osmotic shock, Lipid signaling and Programmed cell death. The various areas that Xuemin Wang examines in his Signal transduction study include Activator, Azelaic acid and Gene family.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Phosphatidic acid, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis and Phospholipase. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Regulation of gene expression, Transcription factor, Membrane and Actin cytoskeleton. Xuemin Wang has included themes like Wild type, Gene expression, Lipid signaling and Germination in his Phosphatidic acid study.

His Lipid signaling study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell, Cytoskeleton, Phospholipase D, Root hair and Actin. His Arabidopsis study combines topics in areas such as Phosphatidylcholine, Vegetable oil and Galactolipids. The concepts of his Phospholipase study are interwoven with issues in Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassicaceae, Lipid raft, Phospholipase C and Biofuel.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tissue-specific accumulation of pH-sensing phosphatidic acid determines plant stress tolerance. (29 citations)
  • Tissue-specific accumulation of pH-sensing phosphatidic acid determines plant stress tolerance. (29 citations)
  • Phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid in plant immunity. (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Xuemin Wang focuses on Mutant, Phosphatidic acid, Cell biology, Wild type and Biochemistry. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phosphatidic acid, Arabidopsis thaliana, Circadian clock, Lipid metabolism, Plant Immunity and Phospholipase D is strongly linked to Lipid signaling. His Protein kinase A, Phosphatase and Kinase activity study, which is part of a larger body of work in Cell biology, is frequently linked to cGMP-dependent protein kinase, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Wild type research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phospholipase and Arabidopsis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biophysics and Abscisic acid. While working on this project, Xuemin Wang studies both Biochemistry and Apigenin.
